Cant install or setup python!!

A few weeks ago i downloaded and tried to install the latest python from their website. Somehow I  finally managed to "install" it but not sure how i did.

Last night i did a complete sys update (pacman -Syu) and downloaded and installed everything listed, including the latest python. I went back to my old folder python folder on my desktop and ran python setup.py install and it looked like it went through the steps to install. But when i try to open a python script file it does not do anything, does not open, give an error, etc. When i try to open it using open with and search for the python file it says "bad address".

Any ideas?

Re: Cant install or setup python!!

Are you trying to install Python 3.0 or something, because Python 2.6 is in the repos?

Re: Cant install or setup python!!

Actually i think its 2.6 and yes it was listed in there. I think my problem is that when i open a python script file it does not open ?:|

Can i test this somehow?

** Edit: when i try to open some sample python script files, they just open in Mousepad !!
